New plant here not city's loss
Officials of the Container Corpora tion of America say there is no link between closing the Philadelphia Manayunk folding carton plant with the loss of 110 jobs and a proposed CCA plant in Chester Township. The Manayunk plant is 70 years old with nonadjustable limits, and a final decision on its possible permanent closure is set for December 15. The Chester project, announced in 1979 by Radnor Corp, would create about 400 jobs in a 325000 square foot facility, largely absorbing workers from the Manayunk plant once built.
